No Title Landscape...

[Arnie]

Like the movement - a dancing landscape indeed!

Thank you very much Arnie.

I actually posted this here back in April, but it got zero replies so I deleted it. I was embarrassed! I'm going to be brave and try again now that there are more people here.

It's just called "Landscape Study 1" because I couldn't come up with anything. It's a small 6 x 9 inch watercolor and colored pencil on Arches.

I really love the colors you used

Why thanks Mary!

I really like this Arty. It keeps my eye interested with the variety. I think I might like abstracted landscapes like this more than realistic ones. So why do I paint realistic landscapes.

I really like the sky and the plants in the front. The colors are great too!

You know what? That's an interesting question you ask. My favorite artist is Van Gogh, as I adore his brush strokes and sense of movement and excitement. But in my own work, I avoid strokes and keep everything very smooth. I might make a separate thread exploring this dichotomy, and see if others do this at all, because it's rather interesting.

First time I see it, must have overlooked it in april (how quickly did you delete it).
Anyway, I think it´s a lovely landscape study. As someone said before it has a nice feeling of rhythm/movement. And I like how you treated the sky.

I'm glad you re-posted it too, I don't remember seeing it. I think it is a very interesting landscape, that green against the charcoal just draws you right in to the middle ground. Well done Ayin!

Thanks john. I appreciate your feedback. I always wonder why my abstract landscapes aren't even more abstract sometimes! So, I know what you mean.

Jessie, thank you very much! And I saw the thread you started in the Art Talk forum. I've been thinking about it and am excited to post on it.

EJH, thanks for your compliments and words. I know this was hanging out for a while, which was why I finally took it down. That was what I was embarrassed about. It had no comments on it. But now, that's not the case at all. I swear I wasn't fishing for compliments, just an acknowledgement. So thank you.

Thanks sno. With you, I figured you just overlooked it somehow because you usually make a comment of some kind. Thanks for your feedback!

Any time since the middle of Sept. I could easily overlook any post. I've missed so much that I will never get caught up but I truly don't remember seeing this posted. Maybe it was the title of the post that let it get overlooked? In any case I like it and am glad you got brave and re-posted.

Thank you sno.
